Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick seems to be happy with Jose Mourinho after completing the first week of training with their new manager.

"It’s been very good," Carrick told the club's website. "There’s been a lot of football and fun at the right times, and I think everyone’s enjoying it." 

Alan Rolfe has been given this football innovation thing some thought...

1. Allow substitutions to take place without stopping the game
2. If a player goes off for treatment, their opponents must also lose a player
3. Fouls can be awarded even when the ball is dead (eg before corners)
4. Final and half-time whistles only blown when ball goes out of play (as in rugby)
5. 10 min sin-bin for yellow cards (as in rugby)
